For new Oracle users, DBAs, developers, and managers, "Oracle Essentials provides an invaluable, all-in-one introduction to the full range of Oraclefeatures and technologies.

Review
Instead of throwing you in at the deep end with a dissertation on data mining, or some obscure section of the Oracle environment, the authors give you a concise and clear guide to the features of the latest Oracle databases--and how you're likely to want to use them. From an introduction to Oracle's family of tools and technologies to a look at Oracle on the Web, Oracle Essentials is full of useful information. It's not just a book that describes the features--you'll also find code samples and plenty of hands-on practical advice. If you're still unclear, the book's diagrams show just what the authors are describing.
Oracle Essentials is a distillation of the knowledge of a group of very experienced Oracle engineers, and it should be on the desk of anyone working with Oracle. --Simon Bisson, amazon.co.uk
